Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 393: Protector, Safe and Sound! (Two-in-One)

The sun was gradually setting in the west.

Suddenly.

A voice descended from the sky.

"Bei Heng, you take Jiang Yuan back first!"

Upon hearing these words, Bei Heng immediately looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan also heard these words and turned to look at Bei Heng.

"Senior Brother, what's going on?"

"Now is not the time to discuss this, let's go first."

At the same time.

Ji Yuanyuan also spoke up, "Junior Brother, my father wants me to return to the palace first, see you later!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Take care, Senior Sister!"

At this moment.

Jiang Yuan also saw someone had already left, and in the blink of an eye, they completely disappeared from this place.

Seeing this, Bei Heng no longer wasted any time.

He moved and arrived by Jiang Yuan's side.

"Junior Brother, let's go!"

Bei Heng instantly displayed the Great Teleportation Technique, moving at an extreme speed.

In this situation, Jiang Yuan couldn't perceive any changes in the outside world.

The mountains and rivers retreated behind him, turning into faint shadows.

This time, Jiang Yuan clearly felt that the speed of their return was much faster than before.

After a moment, the two of them returned to the Holy Academy.

"Senior Brother, what just happened?"

Jiang Yuan asked.

Bei Heng shook his head, frowning, "I don't know either. The Dean didn't tell me anything, he just wanted me to take you away! It seems that something unexpected has happened."

"I'll try to deduce and see if I can find out anything."

After saying this, he closed his eyes.

Jiang Yuan remained silent when he saw this.

After only a few breaths, Bei Heng opened his eyes.

"I saw some information, the battle has escalated! It seems there are unknown strong opponents!"

After saying this, he looked at Jiang Yuan and continued, "Junior Brother, be careful! I'll go and see if I can help the Dean with anything!"

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Senior Brother, go with peace of mind! You don't need to worry about my safety."

"Take care of yourself and don't wander around!" Bei Heng said.

The next moment.

He moved and instantly disappeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

Seeing Bei Heng's departure.

Jiang Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems that something unexpected has happened again! If nothing unexpected happens, what the Dean said might gradually come true!"

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Jiang Yuan also got up and walked towards the courtyard outside.

After a while.

He arrived in the courtyard where Qu Qing was.

"Junior Brother? You're back so soon?"

Qu Qing walked out of the room, looking surprised.

Jiang Yuan nodded and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

"No need for that!"

Qu Qing waved his hand, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

He asked, "Where is the Dean? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"There has been a slight accident," Jiang Yuan said.

As he finished speaking, his mind moved slightly, and the golden aura on Qu Qing's body was instantly harvested by him.

Then Jiang Yuan recounted what had just happened.

After listening to Jiang Yuan's narration, Qu Qing frowned.

"In that case, things are not going well!" he said.

Then he asked, "Junior Brother, what was the outcome of the Covenant Battle?"

"We won two and lost two! The Demon Clan won in the Divine Bridge Realm and Law Manifestation Realm battles, while we won in the Four Extremes Realm and Grotto-Heaven Realm battles!"

"Amazing!" Qu Qing exclaimed. "Junior Brother, your skills are extraordinary. Even with that powerful ape by their side, they were still defeated!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "With the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow gifted by Junior Sister Ji, I was able to defeat Kong Kong."

"The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?" Qu Qing looked surprised, then continued, "I have heard of this item. It is a powerful divine weapon of the Ji Clan in Zhongzhou!"

"With this divine weapon in your hands, your strength will indeed greatly increase!"

Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.

The two of them chatted for a while, then Jiang Yuan took his leave.

He then went to visit Gong Ye Lie, his senior brother, before leaving.

Before leaving, he harvested some Luck power from Gong Ye Lie once again.

After stepping out of the Holy Academy, Jiang Yuan used the Great Teleportation Technique and headed towards Tianhe City.

On the way, Jiang Yuan glanced at his own panel.

He already had over fifty thousand strands of Luck power, but there had been no changes in the Innate Luck section so far.

None of the golden-level Innate Luck suffixes had the words "upgradeable."

This meant that his current total Luck power was not enough to upgrade the golden-level Innate Luck to red.

Jiang Yuan immediately thought of the previous actions of the Demon Emperor Jia Lou and the hostility from Feng Yi.

He silently said in his heart, "I hope that one hundred thousand strands of Luck power will be enough to upgrade my golden-level Innate Luck to red."

Once I can successfully choose an upgrade for a golden-level Innate Luck, my strength will undoubtedly make a leap forward.

And there is also my cultivation realm. I hope that everything will go smoothly in the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins half a month later.

Not long after, Jiang Yuan arrived at Tianhe City.

Then he headed towards Yun Mu Yao's palace.

On the way, he encountered a somewhat familiar figure.

Xu Xiao.

At the moment he saw him, Jiang Yuan immediately remembered.

It seemed that he had made an agreement with him before.

An agreement that was caused by Yun Mu Yao.

Now that he thought about it, the so-called one-year agreement had long passed.

He had completely forgotten about this matter before.

It was only when he saw Xu Xiao now that he truly remembered that.

And at this moment, Xu Xiao looked at Jiang Yuan with a complex expression.

During the past year, news about Jiang Yuan had been reported to him.

The more he knew about him, the more he understood Jiang Yuan's strength.

He was completely unable to compete with him.

The difference in their talents and potential was like heaven and earth.

Although he was considered a true genius in the eyes of others, compared to Jiang Yuan, they were not on the same level at all.

"Greetings, Brother Jiang!" Xu Xiao bowed.

In response, Jiang Yuan also bowed.

"Brother Xu, I broke our agreement from that year!"

Xu Xiao shook his head, "That doesn't matter anymore! Our rivalry is laughable!"

"The person Yun Shengnv admires is not something you and I can decide!"

He bowed again, "I hope Brother Jiang treats Yun Shimei well in the future! Goodbye!"

After saying these words, he turned and left without giving Jiang Yuan a chance to speak.

Watching Xu Xiao gradually go further away, Jiang Yuan also shook his head slightly.

Xu Xiao's character is not bad, but there aren't so many restrictions between men and women.

Thinking of Yun Muyao, Jiang Yuan's heart also felt conflicted.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yuan walked towards the palace where Yun Muyao was.

A moment later.

He walked out of Yun Muyao's palace, looking somewhat disheveled.

But when he saw the increase in Luck Power on his panel, he showed a faint smile.

[Luck Power]: 54,493 strands

Now there are already over fifty-four thousand strands.

Previously, this was an extremely abundant amount of Luck Power that could bring about a qualitative change for him.

But now, even with over fifty thousand strands of Luck Power, it's still not enough!

There is still a long way to go to reach his goal!

However, considering his current situation, it won't take too long.

Now he earns 120 strands of Luck Power every day.

With this efficiency, it will only take a little over a year for him to possess another new red Luck.

If he goes out to harvest, this time frame will be shortened significantly.

In just about half a year, he can possess a red Innate Luck.

And it will be a red Innate Luck that he can choose on his own.

Based on the strength of the red Luck he currently possesses, it will undoubtedly allow him to take another step forward.

Reaching an unprecedented level.

Having witnessed so many existences, even the panels of the top experts of this era, Emperor Ji Hao and Demon Emperor Jialou, he has seen them all.

How can he not understand the extraordinary nature of red Innate Luck?

Thinking about all this in his mind, Jiang Yuan hurriedly headed towards the Tai Xuan Sect.

After the incident that happened before, the Southern Ridge Demon Emperor personally made a move against him.

He understood even more clearly that his choice to upgrade to Transcendent beyond the Heavenly Mechanism was the correct one.

That was undoubtedly one of his most correct choices.

After possessing that Innate Luck.

He transcended the Three Realms, no longer within the Five Elements, surpassing cause and effect, and from then on, cause and effect no longer affected him.

No one can deduce his whereabouts.

This powerful characteristic is his greatest lifeline at present.

With this characteristic, even if the Southern Ridge Demon Emperor is determined to kill him, it would be very difficult!

Because they simply cannot find his whereabouts.

A moment later.

Just as Jiang Yuan had just arrived in the Qianyuan Kingdom.

He suddenly looked up towards the northwest, the direction where Tang Valley was located.

A grand aura suddenly emanated from that direction.

This aura instantly swept across the Eastern Region.

Even in Jiang Yuan's current position, he could feel the immense pressure of that grand aura.

Is that the aura of Emperor Ji Hao?

Surprise appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes.

The next moment.

His eyes opened and closed, revealing the Dual Pupils.

His eyes instantly pierced through the endless void.

But even so, he couldn't see the changes in the extraterrestrial sky.

He only saw the vast golden clouds, the crazy gathering of human luck.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan's vision returned to normal.

Muttering to himself, "Such power erupted? Could Ji Hao have revealed his Dual Pupils phenomenon?"

"What exactly happened there?"

"To actually cause such a big commotion?"

Immediately, he muttered to himself in his heart.

No wonder the dean saw that scene of the future, it's definitely not simple!

I knew that with Garou's panel, it wouldn't be possible to cause such a disaster in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan let out a breath.

Then he slowly withdrew his gaze, his figure moved again, and he disappeared in an instant.

After a moment.

Jiang Yuan had already returned to the Tai Xuan Sect.

He arrived above his own mansion.

Looking down at the figure sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Chirp chirp--"

"Master!"

A crisp voice sounded from below, followed by the sound of flapping wings.

Jiang Yuan immediately saw Huang Jiujiu flapping its wings and flying towards him, and Shu Xiaoxiao below slowly opened her eyes.

She looked up at Jiang Yuan, her eyebrows and eyes smiling, revealing a sweet smile.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan slowly descended, a faint smile on his face.

"I'm back!"

Jiang Yuan said.

"Great!"

Shu Xiaoxiao showed a shallow smile.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan's mind moved, and the golden aura on Shu Xiaoxiao and Huang Jiujiu instantly merged into his panel.

Luck power +100.

Luck power +100.

Looking at the additional two hundred strands of Luck power, Jiang Yuan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

The distance to the hundred thousand strands milestone has been shortened a bit.

Afterwards.

After a bath, Jiang Yuan lay on Shu Xiaoxiao's thigh, quietly enjoying the warm sunlight above his head.

"Young master, how is your strength?"

"Not bad!"

Jiang Yuan softly replied with his eyes closed.

"Young master, why do you seem a bit tired?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes and then smiled.

"You're mistaken!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Xiaoxiao showed a shallow smile and continued to massage and knead Jiang Yuan.

After a while.

She spoke again, "Young master, did everything go smoothly on this trip?"

"It went relatively smoothly!"

"Did the young master win against that long-armed monkey?"

"I won!"

"That's great!"

Time quietly passed.

Shu Xiaoxiao saw Jiang Yuan's rising and falling chest and felt a pang of heartache.

She could sense the exhaustion in Jiang Yuan's heart.

But she also knew that she couldn't help any further.

Even if she grew at a fast pace and became strong enough!

But in front of Jiang Yuan, it was still useless.

The gap between the two did not shorten with the passage of time, but instead grew larger.

She looked at Jiang Yuan's sleeping face and reached out her delicate little hand, gently smoothing out the wrinkles between his eyebrows.

The next day.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake, young master?"

"Mm."

"Young master, what are you doing?"

Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly blushed and said shyly.

"Don't move!" Jiang Yuan said lightly, "Just smelling your scent makes me feel at ease!"

"Young master!!!"

Shu Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered slightly.

After a while, Jiang Yuan slowly got up.

"Come here and let me hold you!"

Upon hearing these words, Shu Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed joy.

Then she threw herself into Jiang Yuan's arms.

"Mwah mwah—"

"Shy shy—"

Upon hearing these words in his ear, Jiang Yuan's face instantly showed speechlessness.

This silly bird really knows how to ruin the mood!

The next moment, he raised his finger slightly, and Huang Jiujiu instantly couldn't make any sound.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan's expression froze.

"Young master, what's wrong?"

Shu Xiaoxiao immediately noticed Jiang Yuan's change.

After a few moments, Jiang Yuan spoke, "I have to go to the Holy Academy!"

"Ah?" Shu Xiaoxiao said, then her expression fell a bit, "Okay!"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yuan rubbed Shu Xiaoxiao's hair.

"I'll be back soon!"

"Young master, go ahead!"

Shu Xiaoxiao smiled.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan once again rubbed her soft hair.

With a slight thought, the golden aura from the two of them instantly merged into his panel.

Luck Power +100.

Luck Power +10.

Luck Power +10.

Then he opened the panel and watered two Luck seeds.

This was something he had to do every day.

The next moment, Jiang Yuan's figure disappeared from this place.

Then he hurried towards the Holy Academy.

In the recent communication, the alliance battle has already ended.

The dean and Senior Brother Beiheng have also returned to the Holy Academy.

That's why the dean called him to go.

Not long after.

The Holy Academy appeared before his eyes.

Jiang Yuan also stepped into the courtyard where Dugu Bo was.

Seeing the two unharmed in front of him, Jiang Yuan bowed and said, "Greetings, Dean, greetings, Senior Brother!"

Both nodded.

Then Jiang Yuan said, "Dean, what happened yesterday? Why did such a change occur?"

Dugu Bo frowned and said, "In the battle of the Saint realm, there was a presence we didn't expect! This monster is extremely powerful!"

"I guess this monster is probably from the Taichu Divine Mountain or the Ancient Divine Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately furrowed his brows.

"Are there beings below immortals in those two divine mountains?"

"Yes!" Dugu Bo nodded.

Then he continued, "Those three divine mountains have existed for millions of years, and the sleeping immortals have also given birth to descendants!"

"But their descendants mostly remain in a state of slumber."

"Now that they suddenly appear, it seems that something has changed!"

"No wonder I saw that scene of the future!"

Jiang Yuan said, "Dean, how strong is that Great Saint? Is he as powerful as you, Dean?"

Dugu Bo furrowed his brows and said, "Not as strong as me, but the object in the hands of that monster is too powerful!"

"Could it be an immortal treasure?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.

"It should be!" Dugu Bo nodded.

"No wonder!"

Jiang Yuan pondered.

Then he said, "Dean, how did the alliance battle turn out?"

Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "You wasted your efforts! It ended in a draw!"

"A draw?" Jiang Yuan was surprised.

Then he asked, "Why?"

Dugu Bo sighed and said, "The suddenly appearing monster Great Saint is too powerful, with a treasure on top of his head, making him invincible."

"Even though I and the Human Emperor used all means to win, we still couldn't defeat him?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately spoke up.

"Could it be that Ji Hao revealed his special abilities?"

Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise and said, "You mean the Dual Pupils?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

Dugu Bo affirmed, "He revealed it for the sake of victory! I didn't expect him to hide it so deeply!"

"Having the Ancient Dual Pupils is equivalent to the ancient Human Emperor being alive!"

"But even so, he still couldn't win!"

At this point, Dugu Bo sighed again, "In this way, I'm sorry for you! You revealed your potential and talent, attracting the hostility of that monster Emperor!"

"In the future, you will face many dangers."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Dean, don't worry too much. I have confidence in protecting myself. As long as you give me a few more years, there is nowhere in this world I can't go."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Dugu Bo nodded.

"I believe in what you just said!"

"So." Dugu Bo smiled and looked at Jiang Yuan again.

"So until you have enough strength, I will be your protector and support your growth!"

At this time, Beiheng smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you should thank the dean!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan felt delighted in his heart.

Dugu Bo's decision was a great surprise to him.

In the next moment, he respectfully bowed.

"Thank you, Dean, for your great kindness! I entrust the safety of the students to you from now on!"

"Not bad!" Dugu Bo nodded slightly.

"I like your straightforwardness and decisiveness! This matter is settled. Unless I die, no one can harm you!"

Jiang Yuan bowed again.

Bei Heng, who was on the side, also smiled.

"With the support of the Dean, Junior Brother's safety will no longer be a concern!"

Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan with a satisfied expression.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan spoke, "Dean, have you heard of the Southern Ming Star Region?"

"The Southern Ming Star Region?" Bei Heng's face showed surprise.

Then he asked, "Does Senior Brother know?"

Bei Heng nodded.

"I have seen a star map before, and it includes the division of the Southern Ming Star Region."

Then a flash of white light appeared in his hand, revealing a scroll made of animal skin.

"Junior Brother, take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan quickly took the animal skin scroll from Bei Heng's hand and slowly unfolded it.

Bei Heng pointed to the center of the animal skin scroll and said, "Junior Brother, please look. This is the center of this star region, called the Tianyuan Star Region, which is where we are."

Then he pointed to a void in the south and said, "This is the Southern Ming Star Region you mentioned, which is 150 light-years away from us."

"This star region spans nearly a thousand light-years?"

Hearing Bei Heng's words, Jiang Yuan's expression was filled with astonishment.

"Light-years?"

Bei Heng smiled, "I forgot to explain to Junior Brother. The term 'light-year' comes from ancient books. It refers to the distance that light travels in one year, which is one light-year!"

"As far as I know, the distance light travels in one second is about one million kilometers!"

"So the Southern Ming Star Region is very far away from us!"

"The Eastern Region we are in has a length of about ten light-years, north to south."

"But how did Junior Brother mention the Southern Ming Star Region?"

Speaking up to this point, Bei Heng's words revealed a hint of curiosity.

Suddenly, he said, "Wait!"

Then he closed his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan and Dugu Bo fell silent.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan was even more amazed in his heart, amazed by the information Bei Heng had just described.

A few breaths passed.

Bei Heng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuan with a deep curiosity in his eyes.

"Junior Brother actually knows that the Ancient Celestial Court appeared in the Southern Ming Star Region! It seems that Junior Brother is seeking the seed of the World Tree!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan looked at Bei Heng in shock.

Bei Heng continued, "Don't be surprised. Just now, when the Southern Ming Star Region was mentioned repeatedly, my spiritual perception was suddenly triggered."

"So I used the Heavenly Mechanism Dao to deduce it and learned that a month or so later, the ruins of the Ancient Celestial Court will appear in the Southern Ming Star Region."

"Naturally, it is not difficult to deduce that Junior Brother is seeking the seed of the World Tree."

"This item is widely known. Several geniuses have gone to the ruins of the Ancient Celestial Court with leaves from the World Tree, but so far, the seed of the World Tree remains a legend."

"Junior Brother has extraordinary talent and profound blessings. Perhaps he really has a chance to obtain the seed of the World Tree."

Jiang Yuan bowed, "I will rely on Senior Brother's auspicious words. There are indeed no secrets in front of Senior Brother."

At this time, Dugu Bo spoke, "Jiang Yuan!"

"Here, student!"

Dugu Bo continued, "If you choose to go to the ruins of the Ancient Celestial Court, you must think it through."

"When the ruins of the Ancient Celestial Court appear in a few days, any anomalies will surely be known to the major forces of the Five Domains."

"At that time, entering the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court is not just something that only someone as talented as you can do!"

"There are also other Heaven Grade geniuses, as well as Saints, who will enter."

"A few years ago, there was another Ancient Heavenly Court ruin that appeared. You know about it. Dao Wujiu became famous by fighting a Demon Saint in the ruins!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "I know. As far as I know, the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins are a place where the Great Dao does not exist. The Great Dao will not manifest there!"

Dugu Bo nodded, "That's right! It indeed won't manifest there, but the Saint Realm is still the Saint Realm. Even without the support of the Great Dao and losing the greatest authority, any Saint is not comparable to the Grotto-Heaven realm."

Then Dugu Bo furrowed his brows, "Not to mention that you haven't reached the Grotto-Heaven realm yet. Once you encounter a Demon Saint inside, it will be very dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan fell into contemplation.

At this moment, Dugu Bo continued, "Think it through. With me protecting you in the outside world, even if the Demon Emperor comes personally, I can still keep you safe!"

"But once you enter the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins, I won't be able to protect you!"

"At my level, the level of life is too high. Once you intrude into the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins, it will trigger the prohibition and backlash."

Jiang Yuan heard this and immediately looked up.

"Dean, generally speaking, what is the highest cultivation level to enter the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins? Is it around the Saint realm?"

Dugu Bo said, "One to three levels is fine. Once it exceeds three levels, it becomes dangerous and encounters various unexpected crises. This has been verified many times!"

"If it's above the seventh level, anyone who enters is extremely dangerous and will face a life-or-death situation."

"Beings of this level have a life level that is too high and will trigger the backlash of the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins."

"For small fry like you, it may not matter, but for someone like me, it's completely different."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan spoke up.

"Dean, I have made up my mind. I want to go in!"

Dugu Bo nodded, "Alright, think it through. I will escort you there when the time comes."

"Thank you, Dean!" Jiang Yuan clasped his hands.

At this moment, Dugu Bo spoke again, "Beiheng, do you have any information or records about the Ancient Heavenly Court?"

Beiheng nodded, "Yes."

Then a flash of white light appeared in his hand, and a scroll of jade appeared.

The jade scroll in his hand seemed to be engraved with countless tiny characters, shining with a golden color, floating in the void like tadpoles.

Beiheng handed the jade scroll to Jiang Yuan.

"Younger Junior Brother, this scroll of jade contains records about the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins. Merge your divine sense into it and digest the information within."

Jiang Yuan took the jade scroll handed over by Beiheng and clasped his hands, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

"No need to be so polite!" Beiheng smiled and continued, "Take your time to understand it."

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

Originally, he was planning to go to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to inquire about the information on the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins.

Now with this jade scroll from Beiheng, he could save a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Beiheng, as a peak Saint and the lord of a holy land, was also proficient in the Heavenly Mechanism Dao. He was powerful enough to dominate the world.

How could his intelligence be weak?

Jiang Yuan's divine sense sank into the jade scroll in his hand, and a massive amount of information instantly merged into his mind.

Those pieces of information were all records about the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins.

After a while, Jiang Yuan's divine sense slowly withdrew from the jade scroll and returned to himself.

At this point, he had a basic understanding of the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins.

Each appearance of the ruins originated from a fragment of the shattered Ancient Heavenly Court.

The most important point to note was that no one should trespass into the major mansions. Those who trespassed would die!

So far, there had been no accidents.

After absorbing the information, Jiang Yuan returned the jade scroll to Beiheng.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I have a basic understanding now!"

"For the decision I just made, I am still unwavering!"

Beiheng nodded, "That's fine. Since you have understood and still made this decision, I won't persuade you anymore."

"In half a month, be extremely careful when you enter the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins."

"If you don't find any signs of the World Tree seed, remember to retreat in time."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Understood!"
